Outer Wilds Wins Top Prize at BAFTA Games Awards 2020

Yesterday, BAFTA held its annual BAFTA Games Awards via a digital ceremony. Irish comedian Dara Ó Brain hosted the 16th annual awards show from his living room. Though Control and Death Stranding were tied with a record-breaking 11 nominations, both titles won only one prize each. Mobius Digital’s indie darling Outer Wilds took home the top prize, winning Best Game over Control, Disco Elysium, Luigi’s Mansion 3, Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, and Untitled Goose Game.

Outer Wilds earned a couple of other trophies, too, namely for Best Original Property and Best Game Design. Disco Elysium, another indie hit, dominated with three BAFTAs as well, specifically in the categories for Best Music, Best Debut Game, and Best Narrative.

The most nominated titles, Control and Death Standing, won for Best Performer in a Supporting Role (Martti Suosalo as Ahti) and Technical Achievement, respectively. BAFTA also honored Hideo Kojima with its prestigious Fellowship award, which recognizes a creator’s contributions in film, television, and games.
